COOKING-STOVE.

Y- Specification of Letters Patent.V

Patented Feb. 24, 1914.

Application filed April 12, 1911. Serial No. 620,676.

To aZZ whom it may concern Be it known'that I, KARL ALT, a subject ofthe Emperor of Germany, and residing at 8 Fasanengasse, Strassburg,Alsace-Lorraine, Germany, have invented a new and useful CookingStove,of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improved cooking and heating apparatushaving, among others, any or all of the following advantages: that itcan be used both for cooking and for heating a dwelling; that it isprovided with two fireplaces, one for cooking and one for heating; thatthe cooking fireplace may also heat the water of a hot water heatingsystem; that the water containing parts of the hot water heater mayserve in the place of the ordinary hot water reservoir of a cookingstove or range, especially when the hot water system for heating thedwelling is not being used; that it shall provide a large, unobstructedtop surface for cooking utensils; and, no-twithstanding this, that itsheating apparatus shall be of the magazine type so as to require theminimum amount of attention; and to such ends my invention consistsinthe combined cooking and heating apparatus hereinafter specified.

ln the accompanying drawings Figure l is a longitudinal section of anapparatus embodying my invention, this section being taken on the linefic-B of Fig. 2; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section on the line C-Dof Fig.3; and Fig. 8 is a horizontal section on the line E-F of Fig. 2.

While l have illustrated the best embodiment of my invention known tome, in the accompanying drawings, such embodiment is to be regarded astypical only of many possible embodiments, and my invention is not to beconfined thereto.

In the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, I have provided acasing which, in the present instance,is shown as rectangular, and inwhich are contained a hot water heater with its own fire grate, a`cooking replace, an oven, etc. The two fireplaces in the presentembodiment are chiefly supported by the water-containing parts of theheating apparatus. The water-- containing parts immediately adjacent tothe grates consist chiefly of hollow H-shaped sections comprising lowerlegs e, upper legs c and cross-connections d, all of which are hollow.The upper legs are provided withl ledges o2 upon which rests the grateZ) of the cooking fireplace. A door is provided in the front of thecasing above the level of the grate to permit the introduction of fuel.A drawer b extends through an opening in the front of the casingl andrests upon the connections cZ, such drawer being for the reception andremoval of ashes falling from the grate b. VThe lower legs e areprovided with ledges e2 upon which rests the grate f o-f the heatingfireplace which, in the present instance, is in the form of a basket.Below the basket f a grate r is supported, such grate having its shortcentral bars running longitudinally, as shown in the drawing, andbeneath the grate r is a sliding grate sA having front and rear gratedportions s s2 and an intermediate opening t, such sliding part beingsupported upon inturned flanges r. When it is desired to remove theashes from the basket the sliding grate is drawn forward until itsopening t is forwardof the grate r, or if desired, is drawn entirely outso that ashes can be caused to drop forward or rearward from the grater. rIhe grate 1, in the present instance, is supported onledges r2formed on the lower water legs. A door is provided above the level ofthe basket for the introduction of fuel to the basket.

Immediately back of the cooking grate is a water partition Za connectingthe legs of the water section, and unconnected vertical legs m and nextend in a row, respectively, on opposite sides in line with the legsof the preceding sections the adjacent sections having communicatingopenings. At the rear a vertical row of straight water sections Z isplaced, such sections being connected at the top as by a pipe Z and atthe bottom as by a pipe section Z2. Within the rectangular space formedby the sections Ze, m, fn. and Z is placed the magazine g of the hotwater heater, the latter being suspended from a plate 'v extendingacross the water sections at the top. The top of the casing is formed bya cooking surface a which, as usual, is provided with removable lids soas to expose vessels to the fire and to permit the introduction offuelto the fire. The magazine g is closed by a cap Zt and above it inthe plate a is a lid i so that when both said cap and said lid areremoved, coal may be introduced into the magazine. Water enters theVVhotwater sections through the pipe p at the bottom toward one of theforward vre0 legs e, and it leavesV by a pipe g connected at the top ofthe water sections Z. An oven fw is provided preferably at the side ofthe cooking fireplace, and the hot gases from the cooking fireplace passover the oven as shownby the arrow in Fig. 2, and then pass downwardalong its outer side and under the oven, and turn into the flue 0 andthence pass to the chimney.

In the operation of the described embodiment of my heating apparatus,thecooking is effected by the use of theupper fireplace just as thoughthere were no hot water heating apparatus present, and likewise the hotwater heater may berun just as though there were no cooking apparatuspresent, except that each assists the other in heating thewater in theywater-containing sections. Then it is desired to heat the house, thepipes p and g being open, the water isheated 1n hot water sections andrises through the pipe to the radiators, and being cooled, descen s andreenters the apparatus through the pipe p. At the same time, the waterthus heated may be used for the ordinary purposes of hot water incooking, and the usual hot water boiler or reservoir of a cookingrangeis thus dispensed with. y When it is not desired to heat the dwelling,the

pipes p and Vg may be closed and the hot' water-heater fireplace, beinginactive, the' heat of the cooking fireplace may be utilized to heat thewater in the hot water sections so that it can be used for cookingpurposes `as before described in place of the boiler or reservoir of acooking range.

My hot water heater being'heated by aV magazine heater, as described, itwill run for a long time without attention so that although theapparatus is very compact, a per- Yson doing the cooking can, withoutmuch additional trouble, attend t0 the heating of the dwelling.
